Features

Precision fan control

Standard industry fans may have up to 10% difference between their fan rotation cycles (RPM). With the new Fan IC Control on SAPPHIRE NITRO + graphics cards, this differential is reduced to 3%. This 70% improvement on accuracy ensures that cooling and noise performance of every NITRO + card is up to scratch.

Robust VRM Cooling

The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ cards are designed with robust VRM cooling and have a high thermal conductivity pad on the backplate to take away the heat efficiently and effectively.

Dual Ball Bearing - 1.85X longer life

Dual ball bearings on the fan spindles ensure smooth running and long life and are designed to keep out dust. A quiet cooling solution, Two ball-bearing fan features a high-efficiency blade design.

Nitro Glow 2

The graphics card is more than another component; it's the beating heart of your gaming system. It should look as good as it costs. With tasteful shroud design augmented by RGB LEDs, each card is practically a piece of art. You can even change the colours of the LED, for your own customized design. This can be controlled via software using the latest version of SAPPHIRE's Award Winning Overclocking Utility - TriXX 3.0. Users can choose from a set of five different modes including Fan Speed Mode, PCB Temperature Mode or the colourful rainbow mode. If you prefer, LEDs can also be turned off.

Fan Check

With NITRO+ models, SAPPHIRE has upped the stakes with its new Fan Check, which allows users to check the cooler's status via SAPPHIRE TriXX 3.0 software, and contact customer support in case of problems.

NITRO Quick Connect

SAPPHIRE's Quick Connect System provides a quick and easy solution. If there's a fan issue detected, the user doesn't need to return the entire card - SAPPHIRE's partners will send out a replacement fan directly to the customer or the retailer. Please contact your place of purchase to request a fan replacement. SAPPHIRE's channel partner will arrange the ideal solution for you to receive your replacement fan.

NITRO Boost

The new NITRO Boost switch increases the boost clock and power limit for higher performance to unleash the gaming performance of the card.

Planning to overclock or looking for maximum performance? SAPPHRE NITRO cards come with an 8 pin power connector to plug in and enable Nitro Boost.

The SAPPHIRE NITRO Gaming Series cards come with Dual HDMI ports, specifically designed to work with VR. By having two HDMI ports, you can have both an HD monitor and cutting-edge VR headset running at the same time.The ports are HDMI 2.0b, the latest update, with an 18Gbps bandwidth, up to 32 audio channels, and is able to support 4K 50/60 resolutions like 2160P, whilst remaining entirely backwards compatible with older HDMI specifications.

Frame Rate Target Control

Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) enables users to set a target maximum frame rate when playing an application in full screen mode; the benefit being that FRTC can reduce GPU power consumption (great for games running at frame rates much higher than the display refresh rate) and therefore reduce heat generation and fan speeds/noise on the graphics card.

Frame Rate Target Control caps performance not only in 3D rendered in-game scenes, but also in splash screens, loading screens and menus, where frame rates can often run needlessly into the hundreds of FPS. Users might wish to set a very high cap just to limit wasteful FPS like that seen in menus and such, while still taking advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60.

DirectX® 12

DirectX® 12 is a new, "console-like" graphics API from Microsoft® that empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware. This direct or "explicit" control better exposes the hardware resources of AMD Radeon™ GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more performance for users. To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through smarter software! At the discretion of a game developer, this superior efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run their favorite DirectX® 12 game.

Introducing AMD LiquidVR

LiquidVR™ is an AMD initiative dedicated to making VR as comfortable and realistic as possible by creating and maintaining what's known as "presence" - a state of immersive awareness where situations, objects, or characters within the virtual world seem "real." Guided by close collaboration with key technology partners in the ecosystem, LiquidVR™ uses AMD's GPU software and hardware sub-systems to tackle the common issues and pitfalls of achieving presence, such as reducing motion-to-photon latency to less than 10 milliseconds. This is a crucial step in addressing the common discomforts, such as motion sickness, that may occur when you turn your head in a virtual world and it takes even a few milliseconds too long for a new perspective to be shown.

HDR Ready

High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for gamers and cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor. Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most stunning SDR content.

System Requirement500 Watt Power Supply (Suggestion)1 x 8-pin AUX Power Connector1 x 6-pin AUX Power ConnectorBlue-ray™ / HD DVD playback requires Blu-ray / HD DVD drive. PCI Express® 2.0 or higher version based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard in order for the card to be compatible with.

Sapphire RX580 Nitro+

6 May 2018

Excellent version of the rx580, does what it says on the tin, just spits out games with no apparent effort. Paired with my freesync monitor at 1440p I can always get things to run nicely and with radeon chill and the solid cooling of the card it's kept nice and cool and too quiet to notice. All of this while having a top quality build and classy looking design, + rgb you can set how you like. Form and function rolled into one.Excellent version of the rx580, does what it says on the tin, just spits out games with no apparent effort.

Great for gaming (great FPS) and mining if you get the micron version you can OC the card to 1130 core and 2250 mem to achieve 30.5 mh/s on Ethereum or ETH hash algorithms although the Hynix models only get 22 mh/s and do require bios modding to get to 30 mh/s and if you get Samsung you should see well above 30 mh/s! but in general, this card is great for mining and gaming and has good aesthetics! and is a great value for mining and gaming at PBTECH!Great for gaming (great FPS) and mining if you get the micron version you can OC the card to 1130 core and 2250 mem to achieve 30.5 mh/s on Ethereum or ETH hash algorithms although the Hynix models only get 22 mh/s and do require bios modding to get to 30 mh/s and if you get Samsung you should see well above 30 mh/s! but in general, this card is great for mining and gaming and has good aesthetics! and is a great value for mining and gaming at PBTECH!

Excellent graphics card for the price

4 January 2019

This card runs very cool and quiet. With idle load, the fans stop running, making it silent. While under 100% load, the fans still run quietly but keep temperatures at or under 70 C at all times. It does draw more power than a 1060 but it is not a problem if you have a good power supply. And since it is cheaper than 1060 when I bought it, with similar performance, it is a good choice for 1080p/60fps on high or ultra settings. 8GB VRAM is definitely overkill as no games really used more than 4GB, but it is good to have some headroom.This card runs very cool and quiet.
